Bali is basically every Singaporean’s go-to when we want to live it up like celebrities for the weekend without breaking the bank. But with so many Bali villas to choose from, they may all start to look the same, until we stumbled upon Coco Bay Bali. This place takes villa living to a whole new level with interiors that look like they belong in Architectural Digest, not to mention 4 swimming pools and even a cinema room.
Here’s everything you need to know about Coco Bay Bali.
You’ll find Coco Bay Bali in Canggu, Bali, located just a 15-minute bike ride away from Echo Beach, which is a well-known surfing spot. Despite the villa’s secluded location, you’ll still be near trendy cafes and bars like Baked for speciality coffee and pastries and The Shady Pig, a speakeasy bar just 7 minutes away from the villa.
Even with its impressive number of bedrooms, Coco Bay Bali doesn’t compromise on style or comfort – think plush bedding and elegant decor so that every guest gets the same princess treatment when they visit.
There are a total of 8 bedrooms – that’s 5 main bedrooms plus 3 lofts, each with its own ensuite bathroom for maximum privacy. 7 of the 8 bedrooms come with king-sized beds, while the remaining room fits a queen-sized bed – still spacious enough for at least 2 people to crash.

All rooms open up to stunning views of the common pool and lush gardens, so you’ll be waking up to a slice of paradise. If you’re after a bit more privacy, chope the lofts first when you arrive for a private swimming pool right outside your bedroom. Imagine rolling straight out of bed and diving into your own pool for a refreshing start to your day.
Even if you don’t manage to get first dibs on the coveted lofts, there’s always the large main pool. Rest assured that this isn’t your run-of-the-mill pool setup – the lagoon-shaped pool comes with its own cabana, outfitted with cushioned seating and plush pillows, and poolside loungers.
You’ll even get to enjoy a view of the open kitchen and living space while soaking in the pool for that indoor-outdoor living that celebrities seem to love.
You’ll feel like a VIP from the moment you arrive, thanks to Coco Bay Bali’s team of butlers who are just a call away and ready to help with anything you need.
Wake up to a free daily breakfast during your stay here – options include the Healthy Breakfast, which features avocado on sourdough toast or a smoothie bowl of assorted fruit; the American Breakfast, which includes Eggs Benedict with salmon or fluffy pancakes; and the Asian Breakfast, which features local favourites like nasi goreng or mie goreng.
There’s even a private chef on-site, ready to whip up something tasty whenever hunger strikes – check out their all-day menu for the full list of options.
Once you’ve filled your tummy and decide it’s time to head outdoors, there’s a buggy service available so you won’t even have to worry about breaking a sweat to reach paradise.
Note that the buggy service is limited to drop-off points in the Berawa area, which include places like FINN Beach Club, Cove for local fashion hauls, and other local bars and cafes around the area.
And if all that still isn’t enough to impress you, Coco Bay Bali has another surprise – a resident snapping turtle who calls the villa home. This little guy would be happy to keep you company if you’re looking for some me-time away from the group or just a cute companion to admire the tropics.
The living room is located next to the kitchen, making it a breeze to grab snacks without missing out on any HTH convos. It’s also surrounded by lush plants and features overhead lamp lights that channel serious resort lobby vibes.
The star of the show here is its sunken seating area, a chic design that adds an extra bit of glam and a cosy spot for everyone to chill at.

You’ll be reconsidering a night out after you find out that Coco Bay Villa has its own cinema room. It’s a cosy corner decked out with comfy couches, long enough to fit your entire crew, and a huge projector screen to get the best Shaw Lido-at-home experience.
With the room’s panelled walls and warm lighting, you’ll feel like you’re in an actual cinema, just without the stray popcorn and occasional crying child.

There’s also a fully equipped gym stocked with a treadmill and weights, complete with floor-to-ceiling mirrors for that post-workout selfie shot. Once you’re done with your workout session, head to the wash-up area that’s prepped with fluffy towels and a sink to freshen up.

If the villa’s sprawling grounds make you a little nervous about security, don’t worry – there’s a security team on-site and a villa manager to ensure your stay here is stress-free and secure.
While Coco Bay Bali’s rate of IDR53,757,440 (~S$4,236.05)* for a minimum 2-night stay might seem steep at first glance, it’s not bad if you think about what you’re getting for the price. After splitting the cost among 16 guests, it works out to be about S$264.75/pax* for the entire experience. It’s pretty worth it for resort-standard amenities with privacy and a short buggy ride away from the beach.
So the next time you find yourself planning a trip to Bali, consider a treat-yourself holiday at Coco Bay Bali.
